“I think we’ve focused a lot more on some areas,” said Angier-Schultz, head coach of the team. “Our team has focused on their specific positions and that’s translated on the court.”

The freshman have also seen an adjustment on the team, and that has helped them play well recently.

“We’ve grown a lot in our trust in one another and our communication on the court and that’s helped with wins,” said freshman Erika Kiseloff

Going into this match against Reedley, the Rams, No.14 ranked team in the state were lead by Sophomores Alyssa Jones who had 14 kills, and Katie lowe who added another 10 kills. After handling the first two sets easily, things got a lot tense for the rams.
